the text does not remain after you press the button ...
I fix it when I have time ...
I don't know how to do it
...but I will do it ...

The idea is that i should be able to:
-1-label a line( for example the yellow line)
-2-while leaving the rest blank
-3-while not showing maybe lines 3and 6(already available by default inline visibility input in the indicator window)
-4-these settings should be available in the indicator launch window
-5-the indicator should print my text label on all the yellow lines while leaving the other line empty as i did not input any text in them
---there is no need for the time on the lines(crowds the chart)
Hope i've not started sounding overbearing
Thank you again and God Bless you immensely!!!
- forget about coding for the moment, whats the output supposed to look like? Subtracting the previous tick from the current one, which is the change in bid/ask price with each new tick, will give a number that is in the range of single points big, like 0.90005 to 0.90006 gives +0.00001. Is it just for the previous and current tick, or all new incomming ticks and making displaying a history? What it's supposed to look like is still not clear.
Thats about as far as Ive theorized this Indicator. If theres more to do to it, we will see.
Tick_Change - plots the change in bid/ask prices - input to show the last x ticks
Awesome- The bid/ask was from the code that I used as a reference. Im more interested in the Close Price, or maybe Typical Price.
Its an ex4 file. If you dont want to share your code, thats fine. Im here to learn so it you would... Id greatly appreciate it
Big thanks for doing this
{quote} Alright as an example...
- I tried adding a line for Close Prices as well but it wont compile. I copied your lines diligently but...
- The divide by _Points Im guessing is to get nicer numbers to display in the window?
- Id like to add a smoothing to the values being displayed. Can I use the existing iMA function to begin with?
Thanks again /Bo
